Chapter 806: Refusal To Remove Her Clothes Despite Being Coaxed
Fifth floor, waiting room.
Rewind time back to 20 minutes ago… Chen Xinyi had waited for nearly half an hour at the waiting room on the fifth floor. There were five to six girls who were also waiting like her here. All of them were young slender girls with excellent complexion and outstanding charm.
Chen Xinyi wrung her hands together, worried that she would fail the audition.
There was a door in front of the waiting room where the audition room lay behind it.
Rumors had it that one had to immerse themselves in acting during auditions like they were actually shooting. There would be photographers capturing their every move on the side.
According to Zhao Zhengmin, an actress needed to look photogenic for the camera all the time. That was why Chen Xinyi was extremely nervous right now.
Not wanting the waiting room to be noisy, Zhao Zhengmin had temporarily confiscated everything on Chen Xinyi other than the clothes she was wearing when she entered the room.
Chen Xinyi had initially planned to call Zhang Shaofeng to tell him that she had arrived at the destination, but there was no way she could contact him now since her phone was taken away.
Creak… The room to the audition was opened again and a girl ran out crying looking like she was wrongfully treated.
Since the audition room and the waiting room were separate s.p.a.ces, Chen Xinyi who sat in the waiting room could not hear anything from the audition room. It was to be expected, how would she get to listen to the audition process?
The girl who ran out just now had probably failed to be selected too…
Taking a deep breath, Chen Xinyi mentally cheered for herself. Once she thought about how Zhang Shaofeng would look at her admiringly if she were to pa.s.s the audition and get chosen for a supporting role, she felt ecstatic.
“Where’s Number 16?” Someone came out of the audition room to shout by the door.
Chen Xinyi was Number 16.
She had been staring at her number repeatedly, so she stood up quickly when someone called out for it. “It’s me!”
“Come in,” the man who shouted for the candidate scanned Chen Xinyi from head to toe openly before he said.
“Mn!” After the long wait, Chen Xinyi got up to follow him excitedly once she heard that it was her turn.
Once she walked through the door to the audition room, the man who came to ask for her locked the door. Chen Xinyi could not help glancing back at his action, feeling strange about it. Nonetheless, she did not think much into it but looked around the place. It was weird—why were the windows and door here all locked shut?
Chen Xinyi still did not dwell on it.
“Come, come, Xiao Yi, come here!” Zhao Zhengmin who had long been sitting in the room waved his hand at Chen Xinyi warmly. The girl went over to him.
There were a few judges sitting there but they looked rather shady. Once they saw Chen Xinyi coming in, they were checking her out blatantly.
Despite being unsettled by their gesture, Chen Xinyi went to them.
“Xiao Yi, why don’t you remove your jacket? It’s so hot here. Look at me, I’m only wearing a short-sleeved t-shirt. It’s too warm! Don’t let it affect your performance!” Zhao Zhengmin kindly advised, but his eyes that were lingering on Chen Xinyi were squinted into a thin line.
“I… I think I’ll keep it on.” Chen Xinyi was a little intimidated when she saw that there were only men in the room, so she refused to take off anything even if the room did feel very warm.
